From article suggestion page desc: "When purchasing power pedals that just need to output ANT+ data, you cannot use the product you have bought without creating an account, logging into the app and pairing your phone with BLE (lots of phones can't do this pair step). This is claimed by the manufacturer for warranty activation but mean without a phone with the right capability you can't use your expensive power pedals."
Stub tag <- Don't actually call template, otherwise will prolly need an admin to remove it. =/

Consumer-impact summary
- Requires downloading app: The customer is forced to download the company app in order to activate the product.[1] Additionally, per the company's Frequently Asked Questions web page, Android smart phone users may need to "enable geolocation even though the app itself does not use it".[2] This raises the question of privacy for that specific group of users as not everyone is willing to allow Google et. al access to their whereabouts.
- Repairability: Although Favero offers spare parts, they are limited to external components. Internal troubleshooting requires a specialized technician authorized by Favero Electronics or the warranty will be voided.[3] The battery also cannot be replaced due to the design of the product line.[4]

Is the Favero Assimo necessary for first activation? - Yes, it is. Pairing Assioma with the Favero Assioma app is necessary to enable data transmission and it also determines the start of the warranty period.
